There are millions of people just like me living in constant uncertainty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ray Rivera, a member of Asian Americans Advancing Justice | Chicago, said he was there in solidarity for those fighting for citizenship. \u201cI come from a family of immigrants,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are all citizens.
